I started calling it our week long sex- a- thon and I was really pumped about it. I have always complained about DH's sex drive. He really doesn't seem to have the same sex drive/interest in sex as I do so this really added to my excitement. We have been having sex ED and this is day three. Last month I missed my O and I did not want that to happen this cycle. I have learned several things in this short three days..
1) Yes, my DH who I thought has a low sex drive does not. He actually can rise to the occasion (pun completely intended) at will and has had no performance issues and has been very happy to have ED sex.
2) While I want sex all the time I can NOT handle sex ED.
3) I might be 29 and feel like I am 26 but I actually have the hips of a 50 year old and I HURT!
I am praying for a temp spike so I can curl up on the couch, take some Advil for my sore hips and just watch some TV?
I completely understand that this is a stupid vent but thanks for listening?vent over
Re: ED sex vent..
This is me. Sex ED is really hard on my hips. I was a dancer growing up and it really screwed up my hips so they fall out of socket easily during yoga and sex.
I have this problem from a really bad fall off a horse when I was a teenager. I tore up the ligaments in my left hip, so it's really loose and pops out sometimes. It sucks.
OP, maybe try EOD? You'll still have plenty of sex in your fertile window, but spare your hips a little.
Take tylenol, not advil, lol.
But I am in a similar situation. It isn't that DH has a low sex drive, he just falls asleep before we can have sex, in his defense he does a partially physical job, and gets up really early.
So I have been getting on him about staying up to BD, and then I am too tired.
my hips pop out of joint too during sex, often right before I O the other type of O, it really sucks.
You ladies know my pain! I was a dancer and cheer leader and did completive gymnastics. Then when I was hit by a drunk driver in 06' and my right hip was broken and dislocated ( among other things). I have had 3 surgeries fix it so yeah, maybe we switch to EOD sex but I hate to feel like I missed a chance to get pregnant..

Really? I didn't know this..I thought asprin was the one to stay away from??
Make a pregnancy ticker
It can interfere with implantation..
I am like that too! DH gets up really early too and by the time we get ready for bed we both are exhausted! So, we try to sneak in an "after work delight" from time to time!

I really enjoyed your vent - it made me giggle a little - and I can totally relate to a lot of it..
So yeah, thanks.
LMFAO!!! Me and DH are also on a week long sex-a-thon! We are using a fertility monitor so based off last month I estimated my peak days and made a plan for when to smush. Well we are on day 6 and last night he woke me at 3:25 A.M. can you say crazy. We work different schedules, me day him late evenings so he has to wake me up to stay on our schedule. I have no physical pain by emotionally I feel like if this doesn't work I will have no excuses.
Also I am a bit nervous because this time last month my monitor gave me my peak days..some have said it can stay high, meaning no O or maybe cause you are already pregnant before it gets to peak...I am hoping for a peak tomorrow!!!
